Firefox Community Forum

I've been having this issue for several weeks now. I have an HP desktop PC, with Windows 11, and the latest update is:

2025-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 11, version 25H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5070773) (26200.6901) - which happen ed yesterday, and this problem has been going on for a week now.

When I click on Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks; all my Bookmark Folders/sub-folders are listed, however when you click on an individual folder/bookmark - the Bookmark Properties are totally blank at the bottom of the screen. The RED ARROWS point to the area where any bookmark listed all have the same missing Properties area.

Notice the icon to the left of any bookmark? It looks like a globe. All individual bookmarks have this same icon, where before they could have and did have different icons to the left.

The BOOKMARK NAME is displayed, but the URL ADDRESS is missing for each and every bookmark listed.

This makes this browser, which I've used and loved for many years, TOTALLY USELESS....!!! I have uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled, and the bookmarks are still missing their properties. I have to delete and import bookmarks to get this to work. BIG PROBLEM: When I leave my PC on overnight with nothing executing, the next day when I launch Firefox, what was there before and functioning, now all bookmarks are missing as described above. Nothing changed overnight and Firefox changed something by itself that I didn't initiated.

Please investigate, correct the code, and send out an update immediately. IF NOT FIXED ASAP, AFTER USING FIREFOX SINCE IT WAS FIRST INTRODUCED - I AM GOING TO DUMP THIS BROWSER FOREVER. ARON COOK

I cannot get Bookmarks to sort. If I got to Manage My Bookmarks I can sort by name but when I select Bookmarks from the top menu and scroll to a folder my sort is gone. How do I fix this? This is true of all folders I have.

When I discover that I have already bookmarked a URL, I want to easily discover in which of my folder(s) I have saved the bookmark. In some cases, the hosting site morphs the bookmarked URL with a redirect, so I am unable to discover the containing folder by browsing to the URL. Sigh. I would also like to discover situations where I have already bookmarked a single URL in several different folders.

I have downloaded the JSON for my bookmarks file and parsed the JSON. I now know that I have 7388 URLs bookmarked which are saved across 111 folders.

I am having trouble discovering the parent/child relationships between the various folders in which the bookmarks are saved. I have several situations where child folders have the same names and can be identified only when the child's parent folder is known.

Undated Firefox documentation at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../BookmarkTreeNode#parentid] suggests that each node in the bookmark tree should have a parentid and an index. I see an index but I do not see a parentid. I do see a GUID field. I have seen comments suggesting that parentid has been replaced by GUID.

But the values I see (GUID=FqNNI0k91ZjW, for example) do not make sense and have no connection to the ID fields (ID=2658, for example).

Can anyone help me make sense of the GUID values I am seeing? Are GUIDs now being hashed for some reason?

When i sort bookmarks by 'added' in the bookmark library, the most recent bookmark that shows in the list is almost two years old. However the missing bookmarks are there, but it seems i can only find a newer (than 2 years) one if i know a word that is associated with it. Is there a way to fix the bookmarks library so the last two years of my bookmarks actually display in the library?

It has happened now for quite a long while and quite some times that the bookmarks, with the exception of the "Import Bookmarks", disappear from Bookmarks Toolbar.

There was a time when I succeeded in solving the problem by removing the <places.sqlite> file, but or the last 2 instances it did not work.

In the first of these two later instances I resorted finally to reinstalling Firefox after the deletion of <places.sqlite>, <places.sqlite-wal> and <places.sqlite_shm> - I am not sure about the spelling of this last two - without success.

Today, running 144.0 64-bit for artlinux 1.0, that did not work.

I did <pacman -R firefox>, in order to remove it and then <pacman -Su firefox>, to install it but that did not work and to my surprise, my bookmarks appeared on the Library so I removed and installed one more time, making sure to delete the <.mozilla> before installing again.

I just reporting in case it may be helpful to someone.

Ever since the recent update changed how bookmarks are viewed on Android I can not change where I want to save a bookmark it just picks whatever folder was used last and will not show any others for me to select when I try to.

So I am unable to add a bookmark and almost of my bookmarks are gone. But when I manually type in a place that I know is saved as a bookmark, the blue star is there and it shows it is saved in the folder that I put it in, only problem is that it is not there. If I try to move it to a different folder it says it moved but it isn't in the new folder either.

I am using windows 10 PRO 64-bit

Thanks Tina

Ok - My Englisch is not the yellow of the egg, But - Ich habe Probleme beim Aufräumen der Lesezeichen. (I have problems with organisation of the Bookmaks) Meine SideBar zeigt 2x den Bereich "Lesezeichen-Menü" - keine Ahnung warum. (My SideBar shows 2x the Area "Lesezeichen-Menü" - I don't know why.) Ich möche meine Lesezeichen in Ordnern organisieren (I try to organize my Bookmarks in "Folders" by theme) Aber - wenn ich die Einträge verschiebe, sind sie doppelt vorhanden. (But - if I move the entries, they appear double) Wenn ich einen der doppelten Einträge lösche, sind beide weg! (If I delete one of the double entries, they disappear both!)

Kann sein, dass ich nicht verstehe, wie das organisiert ist ... (Maybe, I don't understand the organization of the entries)

Bitte helfen Sie mir zu verstehen, wie ich das zu verstehen habe (Please help me to understand, how I should understand organization of the Bookmarks)

Ich bin kein Programmieren, habe keine Ahnung, wie ich Firefox einstellen muss ... (CSS???/JS???) (I am not a programmer, I have no idea, how to adjust Firefox 144.0 (64-Bit) - by CSS/JS)

Ich bin nur User - und mag den Chrome / Edge / Internet-Explorer nicht. (I'm only User - and I don't like Chrome / Edge / Internet-Explorer).

Bitte helfen Sie mir ... (Please help ...)

I asked this same question yesterday and a little while later, the horizontal bookmarks toolbar "magically" appeared. Now the toolbar is gone again. How can I find it and get it to stay at the top of my page? (I'm an 80-year-old granny/computer-dummy.) Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, since upgrading to version 144.0 I have the following issues:

-I don't see any search results from my bookmarks in the URL bar when I type things in. -I have lost the ability to drag urls to the bookmarks bar. -I can't delete any bookmarks or folders either when using the manage bookmarks window or by right clicking on the bookmarks.

I have checked the settings to show bookmarks in the URL bar and they are set correctly and I have also disabled then re-enabled them but with no joy.

If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated as it's doing my head in...

Cheers

In Manage Bookmarks, which I click on a listed bookmark in any folder or by itself, there is nothing showing up in the normal listed properties of that bookmark display. Its missing all the bookmark properties: Name, URL, Tags, Keyword fields do not show up. I reinstalled Firefox yesterday when I first encountered this issue, then overnight while my pc was left on, today it happened again. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Thanks.
